DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.


a Good Word for = Frequently viiiihed
and Misguided Glass q Men.
The common feeling respecting debt
ors and creditors Is often erroneous.
and, as is common with failacies. II
affects with double force the young and
inexperienced. Debtors are repre-
scnted in the ordinary language u a
large portion Of society As set Of
amiable. unfortunate and most interest
ing persons. Creditors on the other
hand. are represented Is execrable
wretches. with hardness Of heart that
would disgrace the cxecutioner. The
debtor may be an amiable and interest
ing person. for we often find these
characteristics united in him; but the
young must beware how they set down
debtors, as a class, as purely estimablc
and entitled to sympathy. while they
mt the same time look upon creditors
as only ruthless prosecutors. Credit
ors are not invariably rich. rs one
might suppose them 10 be. They are
more frequently poor. Industrious per-
sons, who. in losing money BY their debt
ors. are apt to be made debtors them
selves. and thereby ruined. In fact the
case stands generally thus; An idle o.
cxtravagant person procures the means
Of gratifying his bad appetites, and y
enabled to show himself of as very
| fine fellow At the expense Of nm homes
man. who confines himself constantly
| TO his business and denies himself nj
most every Indulgence In order that hs
may pay every one to whom he Is in
debted Now. il young people vii
bring their naturally generous feeling
to bear upon this point they will sec
that the debtor and not the creditor i
at fault And they may be assured tina
where creditors show a severity 10 theil
debtors it is generally either mcrite,
by the latter or is dictated by JUST

Several months before, young man
named Robertson. tired and worn-out

Pritchard farm. situated in . rough dis
trict Of Kentucky. When told by the
widow that she could not accommo-
date him. he replied: II want no ac-
commodations- merely want to stay

| His tone Of voice was 50 appealing. and
his manners bespoke such gentlcmanly

not refuse him. The few days length
4 ened into weeks. the weeks into

showed no disposition to leave the
place; and, 1t can also be said. the old
woman and her daughter exhibited no
desire to part with his company.

yesterday. IL do not claim 10 be

about ten years from nov there
will be a period of convulSion in

in the earth itself, such AS

W ill terminate with the coming
of Christ. The first event will be

sorrow, will defeat Germany aud

Then England will lose Ireland, In.

Empire. When this teu-kingdom

lished there shall come an Anti
Christ, who, | believe, will be Ma.
poleon the First, resurrected, aud
who, as the great SOcialistic leader,
will control of the move
ment.'
"What will Napoleon dol" asked
the reporter, with some lack of
faith.
"First, Europe will be plunged
in the most sanguinary and disas.
trous war, in which all the fury Of
RepublicaniSm aud Socialism will
be spent, aud out of this will come
the Anti.ChriSt to rule the world.
According TO the revelations Ma

lectured to a large audience at Ma.

his views at greater length. On

A Graceful and Touching Act


By telegraph to the Post-Dispateh.
Washington, ID. q. March g.
Elk Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania,
before leaving the city yesterday
for his home, did u graceful and
touching act, which will 60 far TO
heal the wounds between ex Con.
tederate soldiers aud old a Gov
errors. Gov. Curtin'S most init
mate friend in The House was Gen.
Oates, of Alabama, who IA a dash
ing Confederate officer. He VAS
one of those who followed Gen. Lee
III his campaign through Pennsyl
vania, and today c%erries an armless
sleeve as evidence of his presence
at Gettysburg. Gov. Curtin hen
Minister to ST. Petersburg, was
presented with Il handsome pair Of
sleeve buttons by the Gar of Rus
STA. Not long since one OF The but
tons was lost. This morning the
two gentlemen met at Chamber
lain's when Mr.. Curtin took from
his pocket the remaining button.
Asking for the armlesS sleeve of
the Confederate General, the Gov.
ernor gracefully placed the button
in the shirt cuff, and said to Gen.
Oates that he desired TO leave with
him Il memento, that as upon the
soil of Pennsylvania, and perhaps
with a Pennsylvania gun in the
hands of a Pennsylvania soldier he
had lost his arm, he wanted to
present him with the button as
an evidence that he, as the exec
utive of the State at the time OF
the struggle, had forgotten the past
and would bind the wounds OF his
foes with ribbons of love and good
fellow ship. Gen. Oates. though
brave an a lion, showed the gentle.
ness of a woman, after looking first
at the little trophy and then ut the
old wal Governor, and could not
restrain his tears. They babe each
other an affecti0nate farewell, and
Mr.. Curtin started for the train to
carry him to his rural home, fOrev.
er to retire from the stage of public
life, where he has been a prominent
actor for nearly halt a CENTURY.
